ANNUAL SHELL-SOCIAL APRIL 8th 
Our annual party will be held, courtesy of Dorothy Jensen, at her 
Broadway Dance Studio, 31-08 Broadway, Astoria, Queens. Plans are 
being made for an auction of shells, a speaker, a social hour, and 
supper. 
Your contributions are needed to make the auction a success; we 
would greatly appreciate your donations either for auction or the 
bargain table. Many items in addition to shells are appropriate: 
literature, artifacts, stamps, jewelry, memorabilia -- anything 
associated with shells or shellers. 
Your contributions can be (1) brought to the March meeting, or (2) 
mailed or brought to me at 4523 Avenue H, Brooklyn 11234, phone 
CL.8-2478, or (3) brought directly to the studio April 8th. If 
brought directly to the studio, please arrive early enough for the 
material to be properly displayed? 
We would really like to receive your material, or your pledge of 
same, as much in advance as possible so that we can plan the after- 
noon's schedule. Already we have some shells contributed by Dr. 
Jane Schick; a Lambis digitata and a Voluta gra i are among many 
nice specimens. We Look forward to your donations also. 
We plan to make this party a SPECIAL, in celebration of the New 
York Shell Club's completion of its 30th year. We can make ita 
"Special" only with your cooperation. 
Harold Sussman, Chairman 
Auction Committee
